Method for inspecting shock absorbers in motor vehicles

摘要

The road vehicle (1) has a body (3) connected to the wheel hubs (11) by springs (15) and dampers (13). Each wheel may stand on a test platform (21) which may be vibrated. Bodywork acceleration sensors (17) and wheel hub acceleration sensors (19) are connected to a computer (23). A first memory or data store (25) holds data relating to the spring characteristics of the tires (27). A second memory or data store (29) holds data useful for monitoring tire pressure.
